What is being bought

Published requirement description

The University of Aberdeen has an institutional requirement to appoint suitable Contractors to provide internal and external Window Cleaning and Related Services which utilise industry best practice, and are able to complement the University’s resources and support activities across the University Estate.

The University campuses are primarily located in urban areas and as such buildings are subjected to atmospheric soiling and air pollution. In addition, due to the close proximity to the sea and a significant bird population in the local area, the University requires both scheduled internal and external window and building entrance cleaning services as well as an emergency call-off service for certain high priority areas.

In total the University requires window cleaning services for its halls of residence, ca 50 academic/academic-related buildings, and ca 80 entrances, all which are located in and around the City of Aberdeen, with a couple of properties located in Inverurie and at Newburgh.

What this means for your bid
  • Price carries 40 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 4 points. The method statement decides this lot, not the discount.
  • “Window Cleaning - University of Aberdeen” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 1 suppliers, not a single contract.

Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
